MAN OVERBOARD BUTTON
Man Overboard Button
The Man Overboard (MOB) button is an optional extra that activates the
Pilot's Man Overboard procedure to assist in the recovery of the person, or
persons, that may have been lost overboard.
The MOB facility will operate when the system has a valid source of boat
speed in use (not Manual Speed or SOG). It will function whether the
Pilot is engaged or not.
Two modes of operation are available, Manual Recovery and Automatic
Recovery.
Manual Recovery displays Range and Bearing to the MOB position on
the GPD, GFD and FFD displays to enable the crew to steer the boat back
to the MOB position. The range and bearing is calculated by dead
reckoning so tidal influences are effectively corrected for. If you have a
GPS MOB facility you should also activate this to store a geographic
MOB position. Manual recovery is available for both sailing and power
boats.
Automatic Recovery allows power boat users to follow the range &
bearing function with a request to the Pilot to carry out a Williamson turn
which will bring the boat back in the vicinity of the MOB position.
